Fox News host Laura Ingraham ignited controversy on March 28, 2018, when she posted a tweet taunting the survivor of a school shooting for his college acceptance rates. The student, David Hogg, was a survivor of the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and has went on to become one of the student leaders of the #NeverAgain movement, which advocates for stricter gun control laws in the United States. On March 24, he spoke at the March For Our Lives rally in Washington D.C., after which Ingraham mocked him for being rejected by 4 colleges and for his 4.1 GPA.

In response, Hogg listed Ingraham's show's sponsors on Twitter and invited his followers to contact them expressing their displeasure. Unsurprisingly, making fun of a shooting survivor isn't a look many of Ingraham's sponsors wanted to be associated with. 11 companies have now withdrawn their support from her program, despite an apology from Ingraham. On March 30, the host announced she would be taking a week off for Easter, which happens to be the same step taken by Bill O'Reilley in 2017 (amid a similar advertiser boycott) before he was ultimately fired.

Here's Ingraham's tweet mocking David Hogg:

2 days of advertiser boycotting later...

For some Twitter users, the writing is on the wall.

Huffpost reported that the list of companies boycotting Ingraham's program included:

Nutrish, the pet food line created by celebrity chef Rachael Ray, travel website TripAdvisor Inc, online home furnishings seller Wayfair Inc, the world's largest packaged food company, Nestle SA, online streaming service Hulu, travel website Expedia Group Inc and online personal shopping service Stitch Fix.

Ingraham tried to apologize to David after it became clear her advertisers were fleeing the program.

In an interview with CNN, Hogg chose not to accept Ingraham's apology.

I think it's great that corporate America is standing with me and the rest of my friends. When you come against any one of us -- whether it be me or anybody else -- you're coming against all of us.

I think it's important that we stand together as both corporate and civic America to take action against these people and show them that they cannot push us around, especially when all we're trying to do here is save lives. I think it's really disgusting, the fact that she basically tried promoting her show after apologizing to me.

Time will tell whether history will repeat itself. Ingraham's days on television could be numbered...

The Academy Awards nominations are in, and like every other year, there are some disgruntled fans out there rallying for the films and actors they felt were snubbed.

Outrage After Video Captures ICE Pepper-Spraying Protester Directly In The Face While He's Pinned Down

Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis continue to grow in the weeks since an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good. Now people are crying foul after a different agent was filmed spraying a man directly in the face with a chemical irritant while he was pinned to the ground by two other ICE agents.

In south Minneapolis, near West 28th Street and Blaisdell Avenue, agents pinned a person to the ground and sprayed a bright orange chemical irritant directly into their face. The clashes between federal agents and local residents erupted shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday, after the detention of two people near the intersection drew dozens of protesters who began shouting at officers.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Spouting Ridiculous Theory About Why Critics 'Never' Call Trump 'Dumb'

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was dragged after he offered the ridiculous theory that critics "never" call President Donald Trump "dumb"—even after all of the criticism Trump has received for outrageous and uninformed remarks he made at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump "appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times" during his rambling speech to the world elite, per one reporter, a claim that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly denied. He also claimed Europeans call him "daddy"—what?—and said the Swiss, who already largely speak German, would be speaking German were it not for the U.S.
